i know tons of tahoe owners with this same problem. once you open either rear door you hear this loud popping sound and its coming from a door hinge. so on to the good stuff.
1st off remove the 2 screws, trim around the door handle and unlock/lock plastic peice to get the door panel off. once the panel is off on the back side remove the door light and window switch so the panel wont just hang their.
2nd remove the 3 10mm bolts holding in place, 2 of them are hidden behind the rubber grommet
4th slide out the hinge out of the door from the inside. in the next pix you can see the difference in the hinges. on the left side you can see some wear the the metal arm. where on the ride side it has a plastic arm.i dont know what year the part came off but its newer than my 01.
5th just place the new hinge back on with the 3 bolts and this is what it will look like
door back on and dont pay attention to the rust. its on my list for santa.
